Just watching Cheers for the first time 3 weeks ago and loving it (i just said goodbye to Diane, needless to say my heart is broken !), i went to twop, as usual when i love a show, to reed comments. Your blog was linked about how you loved Shelley Long after people said she was difficult to deal with.<br /><br />As soon as i read it, i felt the urge to read all your posts about Cheers. <br />Still working on it every day, with my morning tea, one hour at a time ! <br /><br />Thanks a lot for your input on tv in general and Cheers !Audrey B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-84858989302573367752012-09-07T01:00:15.580-07:002012-09-07T01:00:15.580-07:00I'm 46 and now live in West Hollywood after mo...I'm 46 and now live in West Hollywood after most of my life in the Bay Area, Las Vegas, Manhattan and overseas. Your blog is my favorite. I love comedy, television history, baseball and travel (my four favorite topics?) so you're a godsend. <br /><br />My friend from 20 years ago told me about your blog and I've passed it along to my wife and to one of my top comedy-magician clients. My wife and I are huge Frasier fans and pretty much ran through them all on Netflix over the past 12 months. <br /><br />We write indy comedy films and I wrote a couple baseball books for/with Rollie Fingers. I've been reading your blog for about six months, but am working my way backwards through the older posts as well. <br /><br />As a kid, I caught more than a few Mariner games with Ruppert Jones and Enrique Romo as I once spent a summer there away from Candlestick Park. <br /><br />I have zero constructive criticism. <br /><br />I guess you don't write about politics anymore, but I imagine it was out of the box and insightful whenever you did. <br /><br />I like not knowing whether your post each morning will be hilarious or more clinical and spot-on. <br /><br />In terms of hilarity, it's hard to beat your Emmy wrapups or your take on how Sorkin would have written for he MTM characters. <br /><br />I saw you speak on panel with Bill Lawrence at the comic book store a while back and it flew by very very quickly. I didn't speak to you afterward as you were kind of mobbed and also because my brain was a little full with all the stories you told and the advice you gave. <br /><br />My wife and I don't remember the 1960's, (but she hates Neil Young anyway) but I'm getting your book for my wife as one of her birthday presents.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-74672557490360213112012-08-02T19:07:21.519-07:002012-08-02T19:07:21.519-07:00I'm from Great Falls, Montana.

I have two internet radio stations and am really trying to make a living at it. I listen to different DJ's. It helps motivate me. I liked your style as Beaver Cleaver and probably have listened to all of the air checks I could find. I really enjoy your posts about radio and wish you would write a book about your days in radio. I would be the first buyer,Michael Carrhttp://www.gapfreeradio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-79824429380651411482012-07-28T16:59:53.859-07:002012-07-28T16:59:53.859-07:00Hi, Ken

(So, Bay Area). 4-5 years??? I tend to get you in clumps, a couple of weeks at a time, and I'm always left wanting more.<br /><br />Perhaps I'll see you next time the Ichiro-less M's come to Oakland, or, if not, we can "play in Peoria"...next spring.<br /><br />If I were half as funny as I imagine myself to be, I'd still only come up to your shins.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217049477043209904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-54642661395232725662012-07-28T09:48:33.838-07:002012-07-28T09:48:33.838-07:00I'm Suzy from Portland, Oregon and I read most...I'm Suzy from Portland, Oregon and I read most of your posts but do it in big chunks every 2-3 weeks or whenever some big TV news thing comes up that I look for your insider's take on.

Don Barrett at LARadio.com informed his readers of a tasty new blog back in 2005 and I have on board ever since.<br /><br />I really enjoy the baseball, life in the 60s/70s, classic TV (M*A*S*H etc), travelogues, misc. ramblings and Top 40 radio. It is great to listen to you as the Beaver on Ten-Q on reelradio.com. It would be great to hear more about your glorious radio days. <br /><br />I also would like to hear stories about some of the baseball broadcasters you have known. I bet there are some great tales out there about the game and the men who called it. I am a longtime Angel fan and grew up with Dick Enberg and Don Drysdale on the radio. Back then, there were few games on TV so I really enjoy baseball on the radio. My favorite Angel (and LA Rams) announcer was Bob Starr. I loved the story of when you were with the Orioles in a spring training game at old RFK stadium vs. the Red Sox. It seems like you have a lot of fun broadcasting baseball so I think it would be great to hear more about baseball broadcasters.<br /><br />Your blog (along with the fore-mentioned LARadio.com) are my two must daily reads. I appreciate you blogging on a daily basis and it is also a blast to go back in the archives. Now I need to buy the new book to complete the Ken Levine collection.<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Stuart R.Stuart R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-75817738842134459902012-07-22T02:23:21.819-07:002012-07-22T02:23:21.819-07:00Hello Ken,

I read your blog periodically when I get to. I'm not exactly a great reader so I skim some things but always enjoy your writing whether I read a few words or all. <br />I have an interest in film and tv so I particularly like when I hear your opinion about a new show I haven't yet started. I love how much insight you give to the readers about things that go on "behind" shows, it's always so great. xxanjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279245052623275694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-21005289455409642112012-07-21T20:49:46.983-07:002012-07-21T20:49:46.983-07:00I'm Amy from the SF Bay Area.
